Echologue

Echologue inhabits a vast world of isolation and repercussion. The urgency accumulates to break through the remoteness and becomes the very definition of space and the individual himself. Utilizing 6 full-length mirrors that expand, compartmentalize and deepen the individual’s awareness, Echologue becomes a journey towards identity, power, love, sex, meaning and a voice within each moment. Echologue originated from a work commissioned by SUNY Purchase Dance Conservatory and performed at the Merce Cunningham Studio Theater, New York, NY. Echologue had its full premiere at Tangénte in Montreal, Quebec in 2009.

2009, 25 minutes, one performer

Music: Steve Reich
Sound Design: Alexander Pro

Julian Barnett showed his power in “Echologue,” a haunted solo of agony and triumph. Barnett does big things with his small gymnast body, and his vocal transformation from barely alive at the start of the piece to almost uncontrollably powerful at the end frames the work perfectly.
